Vacation rentals in Mbotyi

This place is magic and we will be back. The road there is gnarly and takes about 1.5hours to get there from the turn off. If you love the transkei in all its natural beauty & living right within the village then you will love this as much as we did. The house is rustic and could do with some minor upgrades and maintenance but at the end of the day it does have all you need. Great dog friendly house in the Transkei!!!!! Garden is secured for fur babies, which is really hard to find in rural EC. We got Crayfish from the locals, fished, made fire, walked and hiked and swam in beautiful tidal pools. Its my type of magic and we loved it ☀️

Exactly as described. if you want white linen experience Mqaleni is not for.you, but if you want to experience local culture and authenticity you will love the area.

It is still a beautiful place. Home away from home. Private. We could walk to the beach, bike, and it is not far from town.

Remote, peaceful & spectacular views. Worth the walk up the hill! Vuhile, our host, was brilliant. He went out of his way to make our stay memorable. Best experience we have had in the TRANSKEI so far. If you are looking for something special & different a visit to Basecamp Zebra is a must. House had everything one needed. Beds were comfortable & clean, enough towels & space is very well utilized. Great that there are 2 bathrooms with 2 toilets - helps when you are a crowd! The view from the verandah is just breathtaking -no photo can justify the real life experience. Thank you for allowing us to visit this hidden gem on the Wild Coast.

We absolutely loved out stay at Protea Ridge. Mark is an exceptional host, he communicated with us regularly before we arrived already when we made enquiries about the signal strength on the property, he regularly informed us of progress made by Vodacom to install a tower that now offers 4G internet in the unit. He went way above and beyond even before we arrived. The actual location is amazing, and makes for a great holiday experience and a fantastic trip. The beaches are beautiful and the entire setting just feels like something that is from a different planet. I cannot recommend this place strongly enough. We stayed in the Khaylitsha Unit, and it had absolutely everything you could want for including a deep freeze, and even a full DSTV access which was handy for the kids on a rainy day. Mark would check in with us regularly to ensure that we were enjoying our stay and would continually offer helpful tips and trips in the area to ensure that we got the most out of our stay. The road in was treacherous due to the fact that it had rained for a couple of days and was busy raining as we went in. I would strongly recommend you consider the weather when making your travel arrangements, and that you go with a high clearance vehicle. When it is not raining the roads aren't too bad and the trip could be made with relative ease. On the day that we were supposed to leave, we experienced some heavy rain and Mark was kind enough to extend our stay at no additional cost and EVEN invited us over for an amazing dinner with him and his family when we ran out of food. The hospitality was truly like nothing you've ever seen. Cannot recommend this highly enough, please do yourself a favor and go and have a great experience!

We loved our stay at the cottage! a truly fantastic location, Elmarie and co were great hosts, helpful in every way. The cottage is a well thought out and comfortable space for those who love the outdoors, love to be surrounded by nature, and love to take time to wind down and relax. ps. the dogs added bonus points to our stay.
